able to place the following in a script file (or your
vimrc):
ab lhs This is line 1.<CR>
\This is line 2.<CR>
\This is line 3.
For a simple test, start gvim without any mods:
gvim -u NONE -i NONE -N
And define an abbreviate call "abb":
:ab abb This<CR>is<CR>a<CR>test.
Now type: iabb<enter>
where <enter> is the <enter> key.
